Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • baking dish
  • microwave safe bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 10.5 ounces Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups green beans, fresh, canned or frozen

For the stuffing topping

  • 1.5 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 6 ounces stuffing mix, dry
  • 1.5 cups fried onions, divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Next, stir in the green beans. Then, add half of the crispy fried onions.
  • Grease a 9×13'' baking dish and pour green bean mixture into the dish.
  • In a medium microwave safe bowl, microwave butter for 30-60 seconds until the butter is melted.
  • To the bowl with the melted butter, add chicken stock and stuffing mix. Stir until the stuffing is thoroughly moistened.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture over the top of the green bean mixture, gently pressing down into the green beans in pockets. I like to use a spatula to smooth each layer out.
  • Top the stuffing mixture with the remaining French-fried onions.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, until it's hot and bubbly. If the topping starts to brown too soon, cover with aluminum foil.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm!
